Re: Maximum sub-arrays?

Everyone, thanks for your help. The problem lied in the fact that I had empty sub-arrays. I was trying to anticipate the number of unique viruses coming in. Sometimes I guess right, others not. All I needed to do was start with an array X and then push a new array on to X for each name in the database.

my @dbData;
while (@names = $day->fetchrow_array())
{
     $name = $names[0];
     push my @virus, [@dbData];
}

Looking at your code: `my @dbData; while (@names = $day->fetchrow_array()) { $name = $names[0]; push my @virus, [@dbData]; }` [download] Where did you initialize the values for `@dbData`? I suspect you wanted something like this instead: `my @virus = (); while (my @names = $day->fetchrow_array()) { push @virus, [ $name[0] ]; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

No, later in program (after all of the arrays have been created) the following is in a loop: `push @{ dbData[$index] }, $somevalue;` [download] The `$name=$name[0]` line is misleading and shouldn't have been included in my snippet.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`push @{ dbData[$index] }, $somevalue;` Is that a typo or was that the source of your problem? `push @{ $dbData[$index] }, $somevalue; # ^ # missing the $` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
